I find stuff 3-4 years old in the freezers. I’ve been VAC sealing forever. If it looks ok (no any freezer burn) it tastes fine.

Lots of sauce will make anything eatable...:thumb:

Freeze aging is the new hotness!

I've gone 2yrs on a few things accidentally :-D. I'm sure you won't die.......immediately.......

I've cooked 4 year old Yellow Perch I've found in the freezer and they were fine. I've also found 6 year old Perch that were a little "tinted". I threw them out.:grin:

If you don't make it, can I have your Red Box smoker? :grin:

Wait!
Clarification...

Are they thighs from a 4 year old chicken or thighs that have been in the deep freeze for 4 years.

The chickens would have been closer to four months old. It is the later one as evidenced by the label.

Ha..good point. I bought a package of 10 thighs from Safeway a while back and 5 social security cards fell out.

I guess i get to keep my herd of cookers. Not cool throwing that lose your cookers stipulation in after i committed to the cook! :heh:
Couldn't really tell much difference in the taste. Maybe a little less flavor but still juicy.

I don’t think it was your cookers people thought you might lose, more like your life. And if you are dead, someone is going to have to look after your toys, so it might as well be us. At least that was the thought.

I personally didn’t buy into that nonsense. Studies show you are way more likely to die from bringing home a bunch of new cookers than you are from eating chicken that was frozen too long.

I say this with nothing but good intentions, but...

Why? Just toss ‘em and get something that’s guaranteed to provide a good product. Not worth ruining a cook/meal.

Oh... yeah, you guys would treat them right. I could live with that...err... rest in peace with that.

Mostly laziness and something for us to talk about. Doesn't take bad meat for me to ruin a cook. :heh:

Packing is everything. I would not hesitate to do that with Vac packed cooked brisket. Yours looks Great!

IMO, chicken has gone downhill in terms of quality. I would wager these 4 year deep freeze chicken thighs will taste better then fresh chicken thighs you buy today.
